That’s a pretty bold statement to make considering nobody will ever no the truth.<br /> Marino's were good but not that good. Even Jaffe stated that Marino could not do Williams very well. So does that mean every Williams piece in the warehouse is a forgery. I wonder what other signature he did not do well. Maybe thats why they purchased good items from dealers around the country.<br />Put the good with the bad and take credit for doing them all. That would be my guess.<br />As to the auction houses, what is the big deal? The auction house authentication is no more than a cursory review. The companies that do this work hide behind disclaimers. Are you saying that in order to be an expert you have to be accepted by the auction houses?<br />soliri<br />
